- "Education for Non-Entity" is an Alan Watts discussion from his Human Consciousness collection (link & details below). It is a thought-provoking critique of the education system and society's strong focus on materialism over the true enjoyment of life. Alan argues that we are often unjustly labeled as materialistic, primarily due to the emphasis on preparing students for careers rather than nurturing material competence and the joy of interacting with the physical world. There is a stark division between work and play, where people work for money and spend their leisure time passively, consuming bland, processed entertainment and food.
This materialistic perspective erodes the appreciation of the world around us and undermines our competence in handling the physical aspects of life, ultimately leading to unfulfilling experiences. The global homogenization of cultures and places result in a loss of diversity and uniqueness in our experiences. Additionally, the industrial family structure creates parents too often occupied with work, leading to children's disconnection. Children are offered artificial substitutes for genuine participation in their parents' lives.
Watts believes an educational shift towards helping individuals find genuine enjoyment and satisfaction in their work, rather than merely preparing them for jobs, is in order. He encourages us to reevaluate the value of authentic human experiences over the relentless pursuit of wealth.

I've always heard all my life; an artist can't make a living. This is usually said with a sneer and they look at you like you're hopeless. Value is in the material. I love cleaning, cooking real food and gardening. I don't make a living with it, but I enjoy my life. Alan Watts is my go to for the reminder of what's real in life.
Good stuff, damn
Fantastic!
May You continue 2 Enjoy 😉
I'm very happy for you❤
When you are an artist; They wait til you are dead then sample your work, and leave your loved ones crazy or dead. You can put suave words over the situation if you’d like. Even though art has deep cultural value, and financial value, the business aspects feel they deserve the money more cuz they look at what we do as musings and play. Imma -- a record exec throat over it ---. You hire and pay TOTAL LAMES, to play solos. -- that.
-- you pay me.
An excellent talk by Watts, as relevant today as when it was given--perhaps even more so.
THE BEST ALAN WATTS LECTURE. EVER.
He saw the coming catastrophe FIFTY YEARS AGO !!
Thank you for uploading the lectures in full. Like life itself, Alan's ideas are free to unfold when left uncurated.
There can’t be many Alan watts you tube videos I haven’t watched but that was the most meaningful ,the way food should be served and eaten for one but how many of us do it😢
Thank you Alan Watts Project
Listening to Alan Watts has helped SAVE MY LIFE 💯🫂☯️🦋
Wow what a profound truth, especially but especially about the families with children. In Cuba since I was 8 yrs I learned the trades of working with my father in construction and mixing concrete with a shovel in the sidewalk, not some concrete machines oh no, we had to mixed it up with shovels, placed concrete in a bucket and Carry it up to the house to rebuild our whole house in concrete blocks, he also taught me how to crop Many of the plants we had for food in our yard and I used to LOVE to help him in mechanics as he repaired his Company Truck, as for my mother at10 yrs she taught me how to cook full meals and Sow and Wash the clothes with my hands for we didn't have, laundry machines like in the western country, it was all by hands and to clean the whole house well before me and my brother would go out to play, otherwise we would not be allowed to go out and play with the kids of our neighborhood street...
So I says Huge Amen to this Principles in which I will always Carry in my heart mind and soul for my kids.!!!
Beautiful speech of truth. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this, it speaks directly to me at this time of life and is so important for modern millennials to hear. I will share it with my teens so they can understand.
@OG Steele : Try reading history kid and learn, please learn, that millenials are THE most spoiled rotten generation EVER to be in the West, you obviously know very little about the World at large so try getting out of mummies basement and travel far away. If, or when, the Internet crashes, or is turned of by some fascist Government, you will be in deep doo-doo, as your generation doesnt even know how to light a camp fire and you will be unable to do google search for the information needed.
It is thus that the world goes round.
Good choice recording this over the U2 tape.
So excited to see the AWP put up this channel!
They made us miss everything.
Alan Watts quote highlights from this video: “The only jobs worth working at are those which you thoroughly enjoy.”
“The thing that has to be understood fundamentally in the whole process of education for life is that money is an abstraction. It cannot of itself buy any pleasure whatsoever because all pleasures involve skill and love-enough love to discipline yourself to enjoy the pleasure.”
“An education in the real sense is not preparation for life, it is actually living.”
“There is no point whatsoever in making plans for the future except for those people who are capable of living in the present.”
Wow! Nailing it!
If it’s meant to be, then so it shall be , wether you do or don’t contribute its already happening exactly how it’s suppose to! Even if what truth you see is everything you’ve denied it will be completely forced on you just like the sheer existence we question an deny to our own narrative! If you understand then be an example for those who reject the truth of our existence! We will never understand ourselves we just have to try an allow ourselves the option to give life to thoughts without weight of necessity an importance!
Any way of making the audio a little better? I love this lecture, but it's pretty hard to hear even with volume turned up all the way.
Alan watts-the businessman to out business men.
Does anyone else hear Bono wailing quietly in the background?
8:45 "supposed" WONDERFUL!!!
What a pity the recording is quite muffled and definitely other sounds going on not related to the original recording. Excellent lecture.
22:37 a synonom for "agrarian" is: relating to or constituting an ideal rural paradise: the region was not quite the Arcadian idyll he had depicted" Originating from Greek; so I assume here Plato. Play 1 of Socrates was played maybe 12 mins ago.
U2 songs are in background or am I hallucinating Alan?
Is U2 playing in the back ground?
haha i thought the same thing.
What ever happened to the live stream? I miss it. I like to have something playing all night to help me sleep.
I Have Always Enjoyed Listening To 🕊RIPOWER 🕊Mr. Alan Watts,
I need To Express My Sincerest Gratitude To Who Created This Channel and Posted The Many Videos.

This is it
🙏
👍🙏
I can hear U2 playing in the background
wish the videi was a bit louder
💙🙏💙
Money is an abstraction - yes, but it buys food, and as much as I love Alan, I'm sure he never suffered for money - even on his ferry boat talks.

his works says about the indian caste system in which childrens are associated with fathers occupation
13:34 okay can anyone hear a voice before Allan? Or am I going crazy
It's the same audio recording playing on low volume
@@Kapsones33 damn I thought I finally went crazy. Thanks mate
Bleak, but recognizable.
Précieuse parole
Haha U2 playing in the background was a pleasant surprise.
It's terribly distracting haha. It's so quiet in the background it sounds like it must be a mistake.
I can’t stand U2 so I’m glad it’s so quiet! Just not my jam as the kids used to say
20:00 …. Did alan watts just invent the dad joke? 😂
These seascapes are just too ruddy obvious. How about a travel log of cities, wars, poor people going about their everyday business etc. The contrast will complement the words I think. Maybe a camel at an oasis. The sun tanned face of a proud elderly woman. I could go on of course.

Sebi. There is a devil.
